The information's given in the question should be very minutely checked. Based on those given information's the answer to the question can easily be deduced.
Amount of sugar in the cabinet of Cassie = 1/2 pound
Amount of sugar required by Cassie to make her cake recipe = 2/10 pound
= 1/5 pounds
Then
The number of cakes that Cassie can make = (1/2)/(1/5)
= 5/2
= 2 1/2
So from the above deduction we can easily conclude that Cassie can make a total of 2 cakes with the sugar she has and there will still be some sugar left.
Answer:
10 points
Step-by-step explanation:
From the passage, we know:
1. Jay earned 15 points after spending $60
2. We want to know the number of points he can earn if he spends $40
We can set this up into proportions.
60:15 = 40:x
The x is the number of points he will get after spending $40.
15(40) = 60x
600 = 60x
x = 10
Jay will earn 10 points if he uses $40.
